Princesses Behaving Badly: Real Stories from History—without the Fairy-Tale Endings by Linda Rodríguez McRobbie
4.0
This was a fun book to read. I liked the variety of historical eras and nations in the book. While there were a few fictional princesses in the book, I enjoyed reading about them.
I appreciate the book touching upon the princesses with mental illnesses. I could only imagine how difficult it would have been living with a mental illness while living under a microscope and under severe pressure. I enjoyed how the "behaving badly" wasn't always just misdeeds but sometimes modern princesses taking control of their family's fortune and historical princesses who kicked ass on the battlefield or just princesses who decided to fuck off and do whatever they want. There's no slut-shaming in the book regarding the promiscuous princesses. The book could have been more tightly edited and maybe chosen fewer princesses to have a better overview on every one.
